Completely Gone

In other news, U.S intelligence officials say Trump has been told that Russia is responsible for recent hacks, something Trump denied during last night’s debate. We already knew this, but here it is again.

Meanwhile, professional athletes are pushing back against Trump’s claim that the “grab ’em by the pussy” video is just “locker room talk.”

I think Sessions should let Trump grab him there with Trump really coming onto him and so he can see if it’s sexual assault or not.

The Republican candidate for the White House is clearly and actively being used as the current dictator of Russia’s useful idiot and the majority of the GOP seems completely unwilling to do anything about it or they are very comfortable with this.

To say that this is disturbing is an understatement to the extreme. The only other thing I can think to say is to say that the GOP and Conservatives and Trump voters must never be allowed to pretend that they didn’t endanger our country to this degree. Moving forward into what I’m desperately hoping will be the next Clinton Administration we have to remind voters in the so called middle that Trump came from one side of the isle and the best way to make sure that this doesn’t happen again is to make the GOP pays dearly at the polls over and over and over again for a good long time.

For many on the other side the Hillary Derangement is so strong that they would rather have a dictator and Putin’s useful idiot as President. That is truly terrifying to me. I have to wonder, long term, if this signals the beginning of the end for our democracy.

I have seen a watershed in my Facebook newsfeed. Sure, there are still the hold outs. But I have seen people who don’t post anything political declaring “I’m With Her” (in their own way) since this broke.

Of course, this is merely anecdotal but my newsfeed is full of people from Ohio and Michigan so I am optimistic.

“But beyond the language, would you characterize the behavior described in that [video] as sexual assault if that behavior actually took place?” the Weekly Standard asked.

“I don’t characterize that as sexual assault,” Sessions replied. ”I think that’s a stretch. I don’t know what he meant—“

“So if you grab a woman by the genitals, that’s not sexual assault?” the Weekly Standard pressed.

“I don’t know. It’s not clear that he—how that would occur.”

That’s the sound of a man who absolutely DOES know what sexual assault is, absolutely DOES know that that’s what Trump was bragging about. It’s also the sound of a man who has absolutely no sense of shame or decency and will say any lie he has to to avoid admitting that his candidate is, as he well knows, utterly unfit to be President. Uber alles!
